Don't use the lea instructions get addresses of non-addressable memory locations. Instead, use mov <reg>, offset <label> instructions, which are the equivalent to mov <reg>, label instructions in nasm.

I'm not sure why the lea worked before, but maybe LLVM used to optimize the leas to mov instructions. Either way, the LLVM version used by the latest Rust nightly doesn't like the lea instructions anymore.

This PR includes a lot of commits where I tried to fix the Windows CI, which currently fails because of a bug in QEMU. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get it working, so I just hope for a new QEMU release now. For the meantime, I disabled the fail-fast property so that we at least don't cancel the macOS build when the Windows job fails. (I kept the debug commits in this PR in case so that I don't need to rember which approaches I tried the next time I debug this.)

Fixes rust-osdev/bootimage#73 and fixes phil-opp/blog_os#937
